What customers say?

“ My husband and I got married here about a month ago! Excellent service by Ashley and Dayna (as well as the other staff),so great to work with! All of our guests loved the food (spinach dip, chicken parm, braised beef short ribs). Everyone said they want to go back and try other menu items. Great place, great atmosphere!! ”

“ Cool inside and comfortable patio (we sat at the patio). Friendly service! EXCELLENT double double pepperoni pizza, extremely generous with the pepperoni and cheese!! Despite the jumbo size, the Wings were disappointing, we asked for them very well done but they arrived a bit rubbery and very very greasy (see photo of the greasy plate). Drinks were pretty good. ”

“ Staff was awesome and very helpful. Beer selection was ok, would have liked to have seen more Ontario selections (lots of big brew stuff). Had Calamari for an app, came out super fast but it was a little bit undercooked. You can see in the pic very little color on it. I had wings for a main and they were really good. Not the most amazing wings but cooked well, batter wasn't super thick. Girlfriend had the goat cheese tortellini and I think fell in love with it. She really enjoyed it. Prices are awesome. Nothing on the menu was over $20 and the portion and quality was good in comparison to the price. I think we'd be back and I'm excited for them to be able to open up a bit more. ”

“ We stopped here for a late lunch and were not disappointed. Cold beer to start while we waited for our appetizer- Brie that was excellent. My pizza was perfect and my sisters fish had her stamp of approval. ”

“ It was a fantastic experience. We didn't initially plan to go here, but when we passed by the restaurant, the place's charm caught our eye, and we ended up going in and staying there. The bartender/waitress was amiable and even fulfilled my extra request. The food was delicious. I can only recommend it to everyone, if you are going to visit here for a tour. ”

“ No one posted a review about the beef short ribs and I was hesitant to order it but I said why not lol. It turned out to actually be pretty good! The beef is super tender and has good flavour, the gravy served on top of it paired well with the beef and the potatoes as well. I’m currently pregnant with twins and I have a really big appetite lol and THIS left me feeling full. My husband got the short ribs grilled cheese and it was also excellent! We ordered the nachos as an appetizer and we could barely handle it for just the two of us. Definitely could have fed two extra ppl with it. Overall service was good and prices are typical for this setting and type of meal. I would recommend for sure! ”

“ What a great little spot! One of the best looking menus I’ve seen in ages, loved the influence of jerk flavoured items such as a jerk chicken burger, jerk wings and even a jerk quesadilla. Service was good, the location was nice with a good view from their patio and the mixed drinks where great! One negative about my visit was that two of us in our party ordered the rib-eye which they didn’t have then my second option was the slow braised rib which they didn’t have either but I will give this place the benefit of the doubt and would love to go back! Try it out everyone!! ”

“ This place was ok! Best part was the atmosphere and the kind servers. The food was mid — not bad but not great either. We had fish and chips (the best of our meals), chicken parm and the salmon. It took a while to get our food but it came out hot and fresh. ”
